Hodari

Been makin’ a name for yourself lately. Every time I go into town, someone’s singin’ your praises.

Hodari

If you’re lookin' for copper, you'll find it near the village. Iron and palium are further out in the bay.

Hodari

Can never have too much copper. Especially if you're runnin' your tools ragged.

Hodari

Stone ain't so useful on its own, but once you get a smelter, you can use it to make bricks.

Y'don't need me to tell you what bricks are for. Right?

Hodari

...Think I pulled somethin' in the mines earlier. Gonna be a long day.

Hodari

I like bein' down in the mines.

The only thing I have to focus on here is the swing of my pick.

Everything else is an unwanted distraction.

Hodari

Keep your eyes open when y’head into the mines. One wrong step can send it- and you- tumblin’ down.

Hodari

Saw you out there swingin' that pickaxe the other day.

...Keep workin' at it.

Hodari

I know I ain't a perfect father. Najuma seems madder'n not these days.

But if anything happened to her...

I don't wanna think about it.

Hodari

Been harder to talk to Najuma lately. An' if you haven’t noticed, I ain't exactly good at talkin' in general.

Hodari

When Najuma was young, I'd read her to sleep every night. Sometimes, I'd pass out right next to her in the chair.

Hodari

Sometimes I worry Najuma doesn't have many kids her own age to play with. But, I guess, it's alright.

She always did prefer talkin' to adults anyway.

Hodari

Najuma don't come into town much. Think all the noise and people overwhelm her.

Hodari

Najuma keeps forgettin' to clean up after herself. She's just like her mother, gets all caught up in the next big invention.

She'd forget to eat if I didn't cook.

Hodari

Damn spice sprouts missin’ from the cupboard again. That’s the third time this week.

Hodari

Think I heard a muujin rustlin' around outside last night. Scampered off when I went out t'check.

Missing dialogue for Option 1 path.

Hodari

Workin' on a new table for the living room. Just not sure if I wanna use sapwood or Heartwood.

Player

Sapwood.

Hodari

(TBA)

Player

Heartwood.

Hodari

You're right. It's a little more work to get, but it'll last longer.

Player

Both!

Hodari

Both? ... I suppose I could make a butcher block outta my scrap wood. Might look nice.

Hodari

I always take my bean juice black. Don't need any of that sweetleaf stuff junkin' up the flavor.

Hodari

Zeki tried to sell me on a Flow-powered grill the other day.

Some things you just don’t cheat.

Hodari

Here again? At this point, m'starting to get used to it.

Hodari

I try not to take a sleepin’ potion every night. Just when I really need them.

Hodari

Gotta stop by Zeki's on the way back home and grab some spices. Never forget to season your meat before you throw it on the grill.

Hodari

When I used to stop by the Inn at night, Kenli and Badruu would talk my ear off. S’nice to have a little peace and quiet.

Player

Anything sweet.

Hodari

Information Needed

Player

I usually skip breakfast.

Hodari

...Here. You take this, and don't let me catch you skippin' it again. I'll feed you breakfast every mornin' if I have to.

+1 Egg

Hodari

What do you think of the art around here?

Player

I like it!

Hodari

Huh. Not enough boats for my taste.

Player

It's not my thing.

Hodari

Agreed. I find myself wonderin' why they have so many paintings of the valley.

I mean, why not just go stand outside?

Specific Time

In the Morning or During the Early Day

Hodari

Best part of being up this early? No one else is.

Hodari

Woke up early today. Gotta go out and fix the fences before work. I'll see you in town later?

In the Evening or At Night, before 11PM

Hodari

Was thinkin' about firin' up the grill in a sec. Najuma loves it when I make corn.

At Night

Hodari

Couldn't sleep, so I made myself some midnight meat. Here, looks like y'could use some yourself.

+1 Grilled Meat

Hodari

Tamala dropped off another sleepin' draught tonight. Not sure what I'd do without 'em.

Hodari

Awful late to be out in Bahari, ain't it? Better head home before y'pass out.

Hodari

If you're here t'see Najuma, go home, it's past her bedtime.If [sic] you're here t'see me... don't.

Hodari

Just thinkin' about all the stuff I've gotta do tomorrow.

Used to make it a list, but it stopped fitting on a single page.

Hodari

Don't sleep much these days. Figured I'd stop wastin' time pretending to.

Specific Location

In the kitchen in Hodari and Najuma's House

Hodari

...You stickin' around? I only got two plates for breakfast.

Hodari

Want some breakfast? I always make about fifteen eggs too many.

At the picnic table in front of Hodari and Najuma's House

Hodari

You stopped by. Good, because I made extra.

+1 Steak Dinner

Friendship Level 3-4

Friendship Level 3 or Higher

Hodari

Sometimes I worry about how shy Najuma is.

Her mother was always so boisterous and full of life.

But I suppose it’s no use comparing the two of them.

Najuma’ll find her own way. Like all children... she’ll have to.

Hodari

Najuma’s love for explosives comes from my wife Leta. So’s her penchant for ignorin’ my advice.

Hodari

Najuma takes after her mother, Leta. The only thing more fiery'n her temper was her hair.

Hodari

It ain't easy, raisin' a kid alone. Always thought I'd have Leta by my side.

Hodari

Zeki's been stoppin' by more lately. He and Leta used to work together.

I'd ask him to stay for dinner, but he always wants to eat fish.

Hodari

Can't sleep? We can keep each other company.

Hodari

Not so good at talkin’, f’you haven’t noticed. Still, it’s easy enough with you. Most of the time.

Hodari

I usually work alone... but somehow I don't mind it so much when you're around.

Friendship Level 4

Hodari

Didn't think I had much use for friends.

But...I have use for you... or our friendship, I mean.

... Let's pretend that was a compliment and we'll move on with our day, yeah?

During or After Hodari's Friendship Level 4 Quest: Say It Ain't Seance

Hodari

Najuma was up all night again. This ghost thing’s really got her riled up.

Hodari

...Leta loved these mines like they were home. A few ghosts wouldn’t’ve gotten in her way.

She’d be down here with a shovel an’ a candle, fightin’ ‘em off herself.

Hodari

You an' Najuma even got me all worked up last night. Coulda sworn I saw something outta the corner of my eye.

I didn't, of course. Because ghosts don't exist.

Well. I'll do better.
